Happy Halloween and Samhain!

It’s indeed a magickal time of the year, rich in lineage and expansive enough to invite you to add your own to it.

However you choose to celebrate this day, it is a special time of year to be conscious of and honor the other side of the veil – the unknown and unseen realms – while tuning into the subtle energies.

I want to share this post from three years ago, which includes a ritual spell of visuals and an inspired channeling I brought through that year, as the message of the words feels extra fitting for the now.

It also shares some ideas on how you might create sacred ritual on this eve, some words about rabbits as familiars to witches and their symbolism, and of course Queen Astrid donning her magickal cosmic witch hat:

Samhain Spells ~ A Cauldron of Metamorphosis

I felt inspired to be a faery nature witch this year.

So I wore my white and black dress with tiny black vines of leaves and black butterflies with yellow spots like eyes, as to me they also mirror kind of a web effect weaving together this transformative energy that is lighting up from the depths and connecting things all together – all of it feeling very reflective of my inner world right now.

And of course topped with my cosmic witchy hat.

Not as fun as dressing up with Astrid, but I know she’s smiling down upon me, as I stand in the same spot she and I used to for our Samhain and Autumn photo shoots.

Samhain is also a time for celebrating the bounty of the Earth and the passing of one phase of life to another.

I will always remember this day as the day my dear, sweet boy, Cosmo, transitioned.

It’s no surprise that he is part of our conversations, silly phrases and love words we like to use in his honor, and that he’s always part of some kind of story we literally make up every single day with him as the star – no joke! Having departed on a time of thinning veils, he made sure we’d never be without him strongly coming through.

I’m grateful to experience his presence, so much so I’ve taken on his persona at times and he giggles through me.

It’s a gift to feel and hear all of our fur babies and cocreative partners that once embodied animal forms by our side.

That, of course, makes me want to share some of the photos Astrid and I took to mark this time of year.

She LOVED wearing all of her hats and crowns and wore them with great pride and honor.

And in honor of the bounty of our Earth Mother passing through her cycles, last week I put everyone to rest in the yards, garden, and on our deck.

I completed all of my Winter prep, which is so important and reflective of the inner work as well being done. I finished that last Wednesday and the next day I planted all of my 205 bulbs to prepare for their Spring 2025 debut.

The bulbs include a variety of tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, crocus, alliums, and calla lilies. It’s always exciting to see what will come up – “The suspense is terrible…I hope it will last” (words of Willy Wonka).

That Wednesday was a full, physical exercise day, as we took advantage of the nice weather to do the big 39 mile bike ride we get in two or three times a year.

We did that in the first part of the day and the late afternoon was the deck and plant cleanup, as well as fixing several drip lines that some little bunny had nibbled through and then shut them down over the weekend for their own Winter’s nap.

We’re looking at 40’s temperatures all this week and most of the next, with nights in the teens and low twenties with snow, even, in the forecast.

In fact, we did actually see snow icing on the mountains above and surrounding us after Sunday night and got some at our elevation Monday night with some more on the way.

It stuck around on the mountain tops and shaded areas, but overall the snow we’ll be seeing now won’t be sticking around quite yet. It’s fun to see and brings on cozy goodness though!

We are actually watching some morning snow fall right now and it’s looking like more headed this way Saturday. An early start to Winter’s kiss.

This week has had a lot of shifts with things, as our last two garden sentinel trees were removed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (it’s quite a process), which was a big shift of energy at the side yard that I can see from my office sliding doors I used to share a view through with Astrid.

I took a couple of photos of the process – these are after the first tree was taken down and they worked on the second.

I saved a small collection of stumps they cut from them (about 19 I believe) to use for things around the garden and yard so we can have their energy still with us.

The change feels reflective of the old I’m letting go of to make way for the new – bitter sweet at times, and yet much welcome, necessary, and aligned with purpose.

It will be 7 years on 11/25 that we moved into our home with the fur babies all together. And now, one by one, they and our special two guardian elder trees, have all moved on.

And speaking of putting things to rest, I’ve received strong and clear guidance that there will be a clear end to things for me, upcoming.

Over the next four months I will be shifting things over fully to all of my new focuses.

This will provide ample time to make the transitions and phase things out. Originally, I thought this might take place at the start of the year, but because my actual new cycle doesn’t start until my birthday, I received that 2/26/25 will be the end point.

This makes sense because that birthday will ring in as a “one” year in numerology for me – in simple terms, a fresh new start that shifts me out of a “nine” year of endings.

This is a big journey of change into more of what currently reflects who I really am. And that will involve very specific, limited areas I’ll be pouring my time into solely without the same kind of availability I have made of myself.

What this means is that I will be phasing out all current offerings and slowly transitioning my website to reflect this. So, you will see things disappear, as I have time to work on things.

Everything will go. There will be no exceptions, as I am really needing to fully shift gears and am anchoring that as my personal commitment to my own authenticity and truth.

The four months will also give current clients or any people who want to do some work before I put things to sleep, some time to move through the closure of processes and/or get the support and direction you’ve been wanting.

I know I have been able to resurrect things from the past that I stepped away from for months or years, and recycle them through sometimes in new ways, but this feels different. Of course, elements of what I do and am about will always be a part of me and integrated into things, but I need to move on now.

So, I just wanted to share that so you’ll understand why you will see things starting to disappear, and also to give people plenty of a heads up.

This may, as well, reflect to some of you the same things you’ve been feeling about your own journey and commitments to things you’re feeling called to do or have put on hold and know that the time is now.

Walk the walk. Draw the line.

I discovered a giant osprey nest on a big hike and picnic day we did with friends to celebrate Dave’s birthday weekend.

The hidden, large, empty nest spoke to me both of the big piece of life focuses that is being cleared out while new life sprouts wings, and also of this vast womb that is awaiting my placing in of capsule intentions very carefully cultivated for the next cycle that I will be nourishing.

While out walking in our forest backyard the next day amidst the gorgeous colors rising like flames through the trees, I found an owl’s feather in the middle of my talking about all of this.

Owl feathers always show up while I am speaking of key and profound things, and realizations with great clarity. They are very confirming and supportive of cosmic alignment for me. I also get other instant manifestations when I make clear commitments and that took place when we arrived home and I walked back through the door.

We celebrated Dave’s birthday this weekend, which marks a new cycle for him as well. In fact, he follows my cycles.

So, we have four months of overlap in the same numerological year, then I march on forward into the next. But this one feels extra potent for both of us individually and together.

A LOT of changes being implemented and each of us are integrating these in our own ways and blending our gifts together to support one another through the shifts.

We had a small gathering for his celebratory day and made things simple with ordering our favorite Thai food for the meal and I baked the cake.

It’s a vegan marble bundt cake with chocolate ganache dripped over it and I decorated it with simple fun – a kitty (Dave’s favorite) and a maple leaf for Autumn, but all sitting atop a bunny cake platter.

Weeeee!

As promised, I did have the chance to get together the raw clear, smoky and included quartz bundles for anyone interested in working with the energies of these potent crystals I’ve been discovering this year from Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevadas.

I have 13 bundle options available that will arrive in sweet glass holders and mini planters.

You can find them here with information about each bundle, along with the only remaining powerful being from the last release – the incredible crystal skull carved by world renowned Leandro De Souza (I added more photos and info of her, as well as a listing to place a deposit if you know she is yours). It’s exciting to see where she and the bundles will land:

Crystals and Crystal Skulls

Enjoy the Halloween/Samhain and Scorpio New Moon Crystal Release and the powerful energy of this transformative doorway.

Happy New Moon tomorrow!

How have your days been feeling lately?

Do things seem to blur together and feel more like one seamless thread weaving itself without any real ending and beginning?

Are you experiencing an uptick in unusual, synchronous, or miraculous kinds of experiences and having powerful dreams or perhaps remembering dreams for the first time?

Are you feeling more challenged, wary, or discouraged, and anxious?

All of this feels to be a natural part of the unfolding of things right now.

As the cosmic energies stream through in greater quantities and strength, there’s a two-sided coin of opportunity and challenge that are one in the same and dependent upon how we decide to walk with them.

Alchemy is in the very blood that runs through your veins and the very spark of consciousness you carry in the light of your spirit. They are partners in the dance of creation.

Our embodiment is miraculous – not a hindrance, but opportunity for something we can’t experience alone as spirit.

There’s an invitation always sitting on the desk to open.

A friend asked me yesterday, “How do you hold all the wild strangeness that happens? I sometimes feel like I’m going crazy.”

I answered, “I guess it’s a combo of my nature time and staying in my own experience as much as possible.”

And that’s what I continue to do…so the constant weaving feels to be of my own creation.

Being present in Nature and physical movement in the sunshine and gritty rawness, really anchors and integrates, as well as heals, all things for me.

Since the Aries Full Moon of the 17th I’ve had some powerful dreams continuing to be part of my etheric explorations.

Crystals have been a big part of those adventures, in fact. Not just in waking time have I been finding so many and working with, and being surrounded by or having some amazing ones come to me, BUT I am now beginning to dream of finding incredible crystals popping out of the ground too.

We experienced a full day of rain and dropping temperatures the day before the Full Moon, which left snow at the very tops of highest peaks here for us to see on our hike the next day.

We did one of our longer hikes above our house on the Tahoe Rim Trail and during the last forty-five minutes it began to hail with some rain.

There was a beautiful area where the trees were all different shades of orange instead of the usual gold we have been seeing and I just basked in that energy they exuded against the darker sky of the shifting weather that day. It felt like a perfect Halloween invitation.

That night I dreamed of finding incredible, cosmic amethyst crystal massive points and clusters in the ground that water was revealing each time it pulled back from an unseen source. The heads of the crystals peaked out and I just kept picking them up with ease – bunches of them. They were unusual and I knew they’d been seeded there and the time was now.

The next day we hiked where I find the smoky beauties and of course discovered more. They sit under this soaring tree.

There were areas along the trail where frost had kissed the ground – the first time seeing this so far and it was beautiful with the Autumn colors peaking through.

And the golden trees were still dancing between the rays of the sun.

That night I dreamed of finding incredible, perfect and clear giant smoky quartz crystal points. They were etched and pristine and again, they were popping themselves through brush on the ground and I was finding them like an Easter egg hunt, where as some people around me didn’t see them.

On the 19th I hosted the Live with Master Carver Mody Ra from Egypt. In the Live I talked about the new and powerful stone finds a little – some of which host many colors throughout. There was a lot of energy that night coming through…so it was not a huge surprise to have a dream.

The dream involved a rainbow banded snake. Well, two in fact, but the large one seemed most prominent and the first, smaller one was almost an intro to this powerful teacher. I’ve dreamed of snakes a lot, but never a rainbow one, which spoke to an array of transmissions coming through and even to a spirit guide that I’ve known having since my mid twenties.

All of these dreams having meaning to me and reflecting my own personal uptick of things streaming through that I’m integrating, but also cocreatively inviting in because I say, “Yes.”

It’s been beautiful and finally Autumn weather has anchored.

I’m loving the colder temperatures and the beauty that cold nights can reveal in the morning.

As promised, today’s post shares a short announcement that the October 22nd Release is up. I didn’t have time to get the crystal bundle finds together yet, but there are six pieces this go around, which includes four ready-to-claim listings and two serious inquiry listings. All details can be found here:

Crystals & Crystal Skulls

May the energies all around and within you, reveal the beauty of who you really are and the true nature of why you are here.

The Earth experience is a canvas of every possibility for us to feel and every possibility for our spirits to mold in the image of our greatest imagination.

A spark twinkled in the dark, vast abyss of the Cosmos, birthed from a pulse of the All’s imagination.

It ignites a Cosmic eruption of celestial bodies in motion and profound solar activity, sending frequencies throughout the galaxies and inevitably to Earth.

Aurora Borealis ignites extra light codes of awareness and this is felt even from deep within the soil, as she whispers her name to the one who slumbers.

From the darkness, a heartbeat grows and resounds throughout the moist womb.

The cold soft dirt slowly rolls to the left and then to the right, revealing a tiny light that flickers like an electrical current trying to ignite.

The little one cradled in thick darkness and living dust, trusts this is her time and readily awakens with greatest hope guiding her heart.

Aurora finds herself remembering she has purpose gifted to her by the Great Mother Terra and the All’s emissaries that journeyed across many stars. She knows not of anything else but this, nor of anyone else whom she can share her excitement with.

Buried deep within the dirt, she wonders how she’ll ever have the chance to do this great bidding.

And yet the love within her pulses stronger with each passing light code that penetrates the Earth’s atmosphere and finds its way into every crevice – even in a dark hole under the surface.

The invisible and visible rays illuminate a field of potential and Aurora realizes she, too, is made of light and sound and within her nature is the possibility of miraculous and beautiful things, just like the beautiful Aurora Borealis who loved her awake.

She pulls into herself, all the knowledge and power held within eons of etchings she wears as sacred markings upon her body and then emits a hum that emanates as a beautiful song in all directions.

Her vibration is so pure it commands the attention of everything around her and the dirt starts to give way, roots start to push from beneath, and the light from above reaches toward her.

Aurora continues to sing from the depths of All that she Is and everything responds in like with celebration and excitement to bring forth this gift from the womb of slumber.

Again, and again, she hums exquisite grace until suddenly she sees a new world radiating around her.

Her crystalline head peeks out of the Earthen blanket that coddled her for ages.

She knows not how long she had been there, but it didn’t matter. All Aurora felt now was the excitement of sharing what she’s held all this time within her.

She sounded another elated song and was fully thrust upon the surface in all of her glory.

And there she laid, cradled in the dirt that matched the color of her essence, and she waited for what she knew just had to be even more exciting than what she’d experienced so far. Because, after all, she understood the purpose she was created for.

She had no concept of time and simply enjoyed this new place where she could see and feel everything she only knew of, until now, within her – the song of the Moon, Sun, stars, trees, wind, rain, creatures great and small and of all kinds and from all realms, and she even heard the song of humans. They all had their own unique melody that touched and strengthened a part of her, but she knew there would be one that would match hers in a way that would act as a key to unlock a whole other possibility for her to create with them.

While she waited, the reach of her song and what this little one had accomplished started to spread. And soon many others like her, small and large, began to stir from under their own living dust blankets and found their way to surface, or closer to it, through their own ignited songs of remembrance.

Aurora Borealis and the others touched by the Cosmic waves of celestial momentum, sent whispers out to many – of all kinds – not just those within Terra’s womb.

Aurora’s bravery and purity was celebrated as the birth of new hope and the promise of purpose now remembered.

News spread across the globe and more and more awakened, thrilled to merge with the match to their song – because if this feeling was already so incredible, imagine what yet was possible to experience.

Aurora felt a new kind of warmth for the first time and a sweet tear of joy erupted from her core. Her immense heart and courage made Sun extra happy and proud. So he sent a ray of his vitality straight to her soft bed where she laid in the exhilaration of what could be. And her song and his vibrancy created a spark of light at just the right moment.

A human was walking by, with wonder in her heart, feeling like this might be the day for something extraordinary.

And the hope, purity, and belief was a match.

Aurora felt herself newly cradled in the soft flesh of this human’s hand and saw her reflection in the windows of this soul. And it was nothing like she’s ever felt before.

The dawning of a new day and era begins.

Another inspired and short little story, as this is the way my heart’s being guided to express certain things right now.

To accompany the story, these are some of the experience highlights that were part of the impetus for this week’s share. Or, you can scroll to the bottom for updates.

Things continue to heighten to next level – both in regard to experiences, dream journeys, and yes, even crystals and stones. Even though there is so much contrast in the world, I continue to understand how our experiences can be directed by our conscious awareness and embodied intention.

We experienced quite a run of powerful things for many days straight, as you’ll see, which followed a dream right before the sequence of events.

In the dream the continuing theme of bear visitations took place again and laying down next to me in bed, which also keeps happening. But this time I had bear laying next to me on one side and what looked like either a very large coyote or wolf laying next to me on the other side. So, I was basically snuggled in between the fur, softness, and warmth of these two apex predators. This took place on Thursday 10/10 – the night when everyone was seeing the Aurora Borealis, or Northern lights, everywhere. I had not gone out to look that night, as usually it is hard to see things between the density of the forest trees without driving somewhere, but had felt something different.

I learned the next morning that in fact Lake Tahoe also experienced the ability of this sighting, as a neighbor shared a couple of her photos she took of it – saying that you couldn’t see a lot of it with the naked eye except for a pink tone to the sky, but the camera revealed more. Here is one of her photos.

The next day, Friday 10/11 we saw bear while on a six mile hike with some friends visiting the area for several days.

Following that, on Saturday 10/12 a large coyote crossed the trail ahead of us that we were hiking on our own.

On both of these days I found some pocket-sized quartz and feathers.

I found it so interesting that the days following my dream, the animals that were in the dream showed up. But it gets better.

Sunday 10/13 we did another hike with some local friends – a new one climbing high with great vista sights and as I went to snap a photo of the view, a bald eagle soared across the sky. He wanted in the frame, as you can see in the top right section of the photo below. In person, we could clearly see his white head and tail while he flew closer.

After the hike we got home and sat down for lunch and we could hear one of our frog friends on the deck calling out so loudly that his voice penetrated inside, even with all doors and windows closed. And that night I went out to see if anything was visible in the sky anymore and a rabbit ran by along the deck who had also been out in the dark of the night. Although the Northern Lights and comet didn’t show up, the sunset was equally beautiful with similar colors and energy.

Monday 10/14 was a big day of Sierra smoky gifts on my hike along the golden alchemy forest.

They literally were jumping out of the ground for me to find them. The area is just a small pocket maybe 20 feet by 20 feet and each time I paced one way, some would jump out. Then I’d pace back and new ones were there! It was incredible. Truly wow!

And some really spectacular crystals were part of this day, as you can see…including the little crystal, Aurora, whom the story above was written about. She is an amazingly loaded record keeper, scepter-like, and a DT/ET and so much going on she blows my mind.

There’s also a perfect little cluster that has a DT in it, and even the tiniest are so etched and potent. I found so many chunks and at least half of the pieces are all etched and partial crystals that either never fully grew or were Earth separated.

Tuesday 10/15 we did a bike ride. I had this feeling we were going to see something. First it was a large garter snake sunning herself (Dave saw her and I feel she was the same I’ve seen in the exact place before), as we rode past a lake. And on our return path through the forest, it was momma and baby bear rummaging for food, as they crossed the bike trail in front of us.

They were completely absorbed in their foraging and it was a delight to see them going about their natural behaviors together in peace.

Baby bear was in fact golden coated when the sunlight hit her.

Momma was a rich chocolatey brown.

All of this took place during extended Summer temperatures in the low 70’s, until yesterday when Autumn feels finally arrived with an afternoon of rain and twenty degree drops.

During these days we also heard from both our friends and my parents about sightings in the area of wolves. I looked into it and learned that over the past month, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been getting reports on several wolf sightings in an area we hike called Hope Valley – in fact that’s where I found the petrified wood and agate I shared last blog post. They’ve set up cameras and are investigating. Although it’s not officially confirmed yet, there is great likelihood of their presence given all the information coming in.

Apparently there are seven gray wolf packs in California and if this one gets confirmed, it will be the eighth pack and the first to move south of I-80. Gray wolves were once thought to be extinct in the area, but have made an incredible comeback.

Was the other animal lying next to me in my dream a coyote or a wolf?

I was unsure at the time, except that it was one or the other and they were very large. To have both a sighting of a coyote right after and this brought to my attention about the wolves feels connected, nonetheless.

We’ve been more quiet and to ourselves the last two to three weeks doing things around Tahoe and then an upswing of a couple of sets of friends came to town and other local friends were freed up too, so outings and gatherings suddenly came at once within a few days.

In the meantime, while we await the last two of four trees to be removed, all of the garden friends of the Forest Portal have been gathered at the footstep of my office door to honor the days we have left with them and prepare the way for what’s to come. I moved them there for their safety during the removal of the trees.

I continue to complete a lot and am working on organizing and setting up my office over the next few weeks. With all the crystal finds and still awaiting the last collectives to anchor in, it’s been crystals everywhere. I’m anxious to have things settled, as there have been so many moving parts with crystals and skulls wanting outside, inside, moving around, and deciding who will stay or go. I’ve had many of the quartz I found wanting to be outside since Equinox and through all of the Aurora Borealis and other solar activities – many light codes streaming in, indeed!

And speaking of crystals, I’ll leave you with these thoughts and some things to look forward to.

This summer has been a big opening for raw crystal finds out in the wild on our outdoor adventures. So many potent discoveries have been coming to my attention and guiding me to them.  I’m finding that they are literally popping out of the Earth and calling to me, as they are needed at this time with the immense shifts we are cocreating. It seems to be happening all over the world – amazing new crystalline beings and stones are revealing themselves and ready to assist us because we are ready. I’m seeing and hearing this from other people deeply connected to the crystalline realms.

When I say they are literally jumping out of the Earth or slipping through a portal in the moment, this has truly been my experience. Dave has been in awe, too, of what I show him of my finds and has experienced firsthand when I find some of them, even if we just sit down somewhere or walk by and I reach down and say, “Look!”

He said, “Wow they almost seem to pop up just because you’re around.”

I truly feel this alignment portal I’m in with them and it’s like a whole other world that has become my reality – all for a reason.

Every piece I’ve found has been such high and pure energy. Nearly all with rainbows, etchings, portals, and for the first time finding both pure chunks of wonder and fully formed crystals. I’m not even having to go to a mine or dig deep into the Earth. They are waiting there for me to find and actually light up and send out frequencies to get my sixth sense attention. They may not be pristine specimens in comparison to fully formed aesthetics, nor giant in size, but their energy is unquestionable, potent, and pristinely perfect as Earth and Cosmos birthed them. I’m enjoying both working with them individually, gridding my important space, and creating intentional altars with them. 

The energy has been through the roof. 

From clear quartz to all shades of dark to light to citrine smokies, hematite and iron included quartz, rose quartz, golden healer, copper ore, chrysocolla, mica, chlorite, feldspar, and calcite infused, what looks similar to ajoite quartz as well, and so much more. Many have gorgeous metallic (mostly silvery and silvery aqua to sea green). Some of the quartz is a beautiful pale green and blue in color. I’ve even found small pieces of obsidian, mica, and this lovely and colorful jasper that popped up the day coyote crossed the trail. 

I’ve been in awe of the energies and that I’ve been able to find such pieces in their organic essence, which is extra special to me, along with being the only person to touch them.

As I said, they may not be specimens like professional crystal finders discover, but being that these are not hiding from me and literally jumping out of the Earth, I feel the importance and gift of their reveal. They want to work with us. I love their raw, organic essence!

There also feels to be an initiation with each big find, as I have to hike many hard miles and elevation gain to get to some of them, or go through some unusual things, and then carry them out on my back in excess weight that comes in at 46% of my own many times. So they are NOT all easy to access and retrieve, but I sense when they want me to be there for them. Most of the places are only known by me where they are, and usually each time I will prick my finger and drop blood on the ground on a sharp edge of a crystal in order to pass through the initiatory gateway. 

And then there are those that just arrive right where I am, at any moment.

I have been guided to quite a lot and been shown that some are for me and others are to be shared in various ways – one of these ways will be announced in the not too distant future. 

I am feeling to offer some of these raw pieces in the next week, though. Guidance paired with the interest in them from shares has been reflected.

Sometime soon I’ll share more about the energies channeling through the crystals from this vortex of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. For now, I hope you’ve been enjoying their energy from my shares, and the doorway of alchemy that crystals are inviting us into.

I am going to be offering another small crystal release on Tuesday, October 22nd.

I’ll send a reminder on that day, but everything will be up and ready before you receive the email update here:

Crystals & Crystal Skulls

This will include crystals and a skull or two, to include some special, larger and pricier pieces I’ll be open to receiving serious inquiries and interest on – the incredible Snow Rose Queen from the last list I took did find a home- thank you to all who were interested. Included will likely be options to bring home some of the amazing, raw and pure finds from Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevadas. These will be offered as intuitively chosen bundles. Also, some people asked if I had more of the Avian Dragons, and indeed I do and they will also be part of this offering. I love these so much that I brought home all the spectacular ones I could and I am able to release some of them now for others to experience.

If you’re on Instagram and love the Ancient Egyptian energy of stones and carvings from Mody Ra and his finds, he and I will be doing a Live Sale there this Saturday, October 19th at 5pm PST.

The newest material from the wonder of Abu Simbel is astoundingly gorgeous and next level in energy. In the near future I will be sharing about the two pieces Mody created for me from the guidance I received and how they will be facilitating upcoming offerings we are collaborating on. They are created from these new, colorful stones and will work with a third piece he also created that will be coming to me in preparation for all of this as well. A Trinity of Great Mothers preparing the way.

And just a personal share…For me, the energies of unusually included quartz varieties, smokies (from golden citrine to rich chocolate and dark morion and even smoky amethyst), amethyst, and any rays of blue (all shades), gold, purple/violet, deep and dark mysterious grays to blacks, and rich greens are stand outs I am finding to be around a lot and key. Rainbows in the form of actual ones appearing in the crystals and the embodiment of the rainbow light ray of the harmony portal are also highly active right now and important – more on this to come. I’m floored by how crystals of these types and energies are flocking to me.

In other news, I have been very active with Rabbit Adoption Trainings and focused on custom Magick Rabbit orders.

I am taking a break from making any more ready-to-ship bunnies, but if you are looking for a sweet holiday gift, stocking stuffer, or simply a little extra magick infused with the energy of Tahoe’s vortex, I have just 3 ready-to-ship enchanted Magick Rabbits left.

Can’t believe the Merbunny hasn’t been snatched – perhaps she’ll stay with me.

Magick Rabbits

Year’s end is edging closer with more changes in process that include my own need to streamline my focuses come 2025, which means offerings will either end or be highly limited. If you’d like to partner in establishing new foundations and more naturally “you” reflections in your life you desire I’m honored and happy to partner with you. Repatterning does not have to be a difficult thing and can actually be made fun. Alignment, commitment, consistent momentum, and embodiment are key. And if you’d like to do a one session touch-in to do an energetic overview of things, look at a plan of action, and help you refine the new way of life you’re embarking upon we can do that as well to help you to create a well-established new foundation without building upon the old one. The windows of opportunity right now are potent.

Intuitive Guidance Sessions

Aries Full Moon wishes of flow toward new doorways of opportunity and greater channels of integrity led by the heart.

Alchemy sits lonely in a forest of deep forgotten wishes and stolen memories, hoping to be found.

She sinks deeper and deeper into choked desolation, awaiting a glimmer of hope to merge with.

All she needs is one visionary heart to walk by and see what could be from the everythingness of her nothingness.

All around her Nature shifts day-to-day and season-to-season and she watches as most people take this for granted – how a vortex of transmutation constantly dances before them without a second thought.

Alchemy is not surprised, as she sees these humans have ignored the same about themselves even though their very nature is in the Earth.

So she awaits the heightened moments when she might have greatest chance to beckon these humans closer to knowing her and themselves.

One of those windows is especially ideal to her and it happens to be now.

From her place within the lost shadows of buried dreams and promises, she musters up her powers and throws herself fully into the transformational invitation that Nature is beautifully about to embrace.

And the golden light of her magick melds with Nature’s unconditional love, radiating Alchemy in one of her grandest displays.

It is only in moments of in between transitions that Alchemy sees the light of day.

And yet she sits waiting and wondering who else might welcome an opportunity to partner in masterful creations.

Alchemy knows who she is and remembers who you are.

Today’s share is a simple story about Alchemy adorned with Nature windows I’ve wandered through over the last few days.

And here is my short story of parallel experiences that walk with hers.

As Alchemy’s story was unraveling in my head, I had some amazing things happen while immersing in my great outdoors adventures.

While Dave mountain biked a trail, I hiked it in to see what Autumn splendor I might find and any other gifts to discover along the way. I always use my time in Nature to do a lot of internal sifting and shifting.

This was a beautiful day, following one Dave and I shared at a lake up here, where colors were bursting with creative potency.

I ended up being guided to quite a treasure chest of Sierra smoky quartz gems from super dark, rich and chocolatey in color to light, many with etchings, rainbows, a few points and wands, and even some shaped like nuggets.

Lighting brings out different shades of their energy that, like Alchemy, awaits to be seen and invited in.

I brought them home and cleansed them, and once this was complete and they sat out to dry and absorb the forest portal energies, a coyote pack started howling.

The next day we split our hiking time between two hikes and the faery portals continued to be wide open.

Other world beings really want me to feel their presence and support and to pass these messages along of what is possible – just like Alchemy’s story.

I wondered what gifts I might discover. On the first trail my eye caught something to the right slightly up on the slope. I reached toward it and discovered a very rare piece of agate. I say rare because this kind, which I found a lot of on the Oregon coast, I don’t find here. That was a special gift. I made note of the area in my mind, so I could look more again on the way back, as I was trying not to get too far behind Dave.

On the way back I did find the spot again and this time I remarkably found not another agate, but a piece of petrified wood.

Again, super rare, as I’ve only one other time found a piece of this in Tahoe while hiking. I’ve found more in outlying areas where they’re known to be, but not just sitting out in the open by themselves.

In both cases, the agate and petrified wood were just sitting there and it was quite amazing that they were both in the same spot, one after another.

Literally the doors between worlds are open and the Fae drop me gifts now and then to welcome this opportunity to merge all experiences consistently and to relay the messages of what we are capable of.

We then went on a second hike in a different area.

On this hike I was led again slightly off trail because something white caught my eye behind a tree. When I went to pull it out of the dirt and dried pine needles I was amazed at the large piece of etched quartz in my hand because it was shaped into a perfect coyote head.

Coyotes have been such powerful companions lately in the transitions of my wild heart.

As I wrote before about coyote messengers:

Sounding their vibrational frequencies, coyotes alert me to the innate power of my own instincts, intuitive, and vibrational attuning, to navigate what’s ahead on the sacred journey unfolding. I also feel their “song” unearthing and unlocking a deep primal part within me as an integral piece of the next phase channeling through that is needed. And it indeed involves a core transference of sound codes that will support the opening of dimensional gateways and portals for the next stage of evolution. I feel like the coyotes are storytellers and intricately savvy magicians of creative force that can and will always find a way through things, innovatively reshape things, and share their keys of wisdom through the calls sent out upon the wind for those with hearts and ears to hear it.

After finding the coyote quartz an owl feather appeared.

And just before getting back to the car, hidden under the end-of-season grasses not one, but two, beautiful Amanita Muscaria mushrooms caught my eye. I was beyond excited!

Yes, two more magick mushrooms – the most beautiful in color so far this year that I’ve found. One reddish orange and the other golden orange. They were literally hidden under grasses and in perfect condition.

Indeed the Fae were on fire with the help of a magick rabbit…and the Cosmic and Earth portals continue to be open.

I knew to bring them home, as Astrid has messaged purpose with these since she first helped them appear. I laid them on one of my quartz groups that were already outside bathing now since Equinox, so they could receive extra activation.

That evening I went out to the meditation garden and placed ten new lights between the quartz.

I now have a star lit spiral path that illuminates and guides the way.

Transitions continue to be part of the natural cycles in all areas of life with people, animals, and even the plant and Earth kingdom opting to move on and make way for the new.

We’re seeing so many big changes and in some cases, experiencing devastating impacts that can either bring us together or tear us further apart. Finding ways to strengthen your heart center helps to weather the storms and be there for others too. My heart, energetic support, and prayers are with us all. Every day I work on strengthening my core to be able to show up and be a fluid anchor in the highest of ways possible in each moment.

It’s hard to say goodbye and yet its part of the flow of creative consciousness to continually shift and be beautiful and sacred in all parts of the journey. This is why I also embrace what ever changes come with my Earth years, naturally. I celebrate the beauty of transitions and the power and vitality of every stage.

It’s hard to tell in the photo, but these two hundred plus foot white pine trees have been hit by bark beetles with 40% plus gone at top already, as well as showing signs of death at the bottom.

It is sad they will have to be removed since they’ve been a part of the garden here as guardians and also my and the forest animals’ friends. And yet it’s part of Nature handling her organic evolution, as these bark beetles are native to the environment here although have increased due to drought, which affects more trees.

We have two others (Jeffrey pines) that also need to go since they are too close to the electrical lines – not hit by beetles, and another larger white pine that eventually may need to go, although right now seems to be strong and fighting the beetles, unlike these two that couldn’t – she’s only been hit at the tip top but shows no signs of deteriorating and wounds like her smaller sisters. Perhaps, even, these two embraced transition so the other could thrive. There is an organic unfolding to Nature that we take for granted in reflecting our own nature. Time will tell.

The trees will not come back and present a danger to the house, electrical lines, other homes and other trees of their kind because the beetles spread to compromised trees.

We’re on the list to have them removed so it’s just a matter of time. They may go before Winter or go next Spring. In either case, they will be missed and we will look into planting some new trees to put in motion a new beginning.

I sense that their timing of leaving is aligned with other things and deeply connected to an old paradigm and foundation (they’re likely 100+ years old) ready to go and make way for a new to be built.

Consciousness continues to create, evolve, and expand. Life and love goes on.

UPDATES:

There are two crystals from the the Libra New Moon Eclipse Release remaining that I’m offering between today and Friday 10/11 as a bundle special together that’s reflected at the link below with 12.5% savings to create alchemy – SOLD OUT. The two of them have actually been hanging out together for quite some time and do enjoy each other’s company. They don’t need to be together, but do get along, compliment each other, and work together great if they are. These two include an incredible, very Fae and other worldly essence double terminated quartz with pristine energy and record keepers everywhere – perfect reflection of the supportive energy I spoke of above that happened this weekend. The other is a beautiful, full of vitality and new beginnings orange calcite sphere that will help to balance emotions, remove blockages, old habits and patterns, release guilt and regret, and uplift self esteem through the changes and embrace of opportunities. This one is great to have in your space where it can emanate its strong cleansing aura, especially with pollutants that are affecting your system as well as your environment – both in terms of things affecting you physically and/or emotionally.

There are three truly enchanting little Magick Rabbits left including a merbunny along with the rest of the faery and forest bouquet alchemy worlds.

I was recently asked if I could create Magick Rabbits with the fur of a friend’s new bunny inside. I wasn’t sure, but had enough fur to experiment and ended up with three for her (shown above), including sweet and symbolic touches inside that reflect her bunny’s name, energy, intentions she has for her two bunnies to bond, and to shower them all with golden healing energy and love. I was so honored to create these and wanted to share their sweetness with you, as it is another pathway that opened through these Magick Rabbits as to how I can use creativity to weave intention, love, and sacred honoring for others to cherish – a keepsake forever bunny.

Crystals and Crystal Skulls

Magick Rabbits

I’ll leave you with these two photos.

The first is of a tree I photographed on yesterday’s hike that had an incredible imprint on the front that was clear-as-day to me, a three dimensional great horned owl’s face. It may be hard to see, but the outline is there and then the imprint goes into the tree a couple of inches with eyes and beak left etched inside, as if the owl stuck their face into the tree and left their soul there in the carving watching those who pass by on the trail.

And then this special raw, giant mother quartz I found recently that has her own special story. She’s a pure crystal without matrix and has her own golden faery portal door. She took my breath away when I lifted her from the Earth where she was embedded deeply and called to me to retrieve her. A lot has happened since then.

Her energy goes along with the theme of today’s post and also opens the channels for some upcoming offerings. Stay tuned!

As worlds continue to divide and timelines present themselves at the flip of a choice, our ability to create the reality of our desires becomes more and more accessible and fluid by way of conscious cocreation and focus.

Increasingly my awareness heightens and my heart filters the stream of information and energetic waves that float through the collective, regardless of the source they come from. This is a necessity, for me, in order to be able to focus a clear channel of intention toward creating the reality I desire to experience.

What you see isn’t always what it is and it can be more freeing when allowed to pass through without attachment to any one way of experiencing it, as this avoids tethering your energy and dividing your ability to manifest and experience something different. I also remain aware of subliminal and subconscious reach that any information can have, and while it may be given or seen as directed for support, may actually hinder our own conscious choice unless we are aware of ourselves.

The Earth is evolving and this involves exactly the way things need to unfold with greatest effect for the next stages to come. If it were meant to be any different, then we will experience it as such through our conscious choices in every moment as individuals and a unified collective. To sit back and simply accept things as effect is not within my capacity. I choose to be the cause of my experience. And this takes refining of the breadth of my awareness, which I put at the forefront of my days.

As I begin to slowly move onto a different course and timeline, I find that fine tuning things like even these shares will continue to take form. I like to remain fluid to shifts and this even included our plans this week.

At the last minute we cancelled some camping reservations in order to stay home-based for adventures because the weather here in Tahoe reflected a gorgeous and sweet extension to what they call “Indian Summer” days, even though strokes of Autumn color are starting to peek through.

So, we opted to enjoy beach time, hikes, bike rides, and other adventures nearby while also allowing me to continue to complete tasks toward the changes.

Grasshoppers are in rare form still, leaping and whizzing through the air – smacking my chest and face all the time with their own activating hello’s.

Leading up to last week there was a huge influx of energy that came to us, and some potent reflections of this change I am embracing.

The day before the Equinox, I mentioned we went on a crystal expedition to a new place for us. It proved to be the perfect way to welcome in the new season of changes with heightened energy to support them.

We went with two friends of ours and found ourselves literally walking on mounds of quartz in quantities I’ve never seen in one area.

Every step was held in crystalline energy that I later realized had created a kind of internal, physical shift along with the etheric ones for me.

My friend captured this photo of me on the quartz slopes, unbeknownst to myself.

When I saw the light streaming over me it felt like a reflection of what was happening internally.

The area had so many varieties of clear to smoky quartz – many of which I’m not sure of the material, but were so unique. My guesses are hematite and iron included quartz, rose quartz, golden healer, copper ore, chrysocolla, mica, chlorite, feldspar, and calcite infused, and so much more. Many have gorgeous metallic (mostly silvery and silvery aqua to sea green) – my favorites are these and any that have the blue and green materials. Some of the quartz was a beautiful pale green and blue in color. I did not photograph all of these specimens to share, but I’m in awe every time I look at and hold them.

We were gifted quite a treasure chest from Mother Earth who showed us the gems she chose just for us. This included a giant mother quartz Dave instantly was drawn to for our living room and many others from medium to tiny, but potent sizes.

These are some of the special little points and clusters that I found.

We spent Equinox on a beautiful walk along the lake with our friend and his dog, followed by a bike ride to welcome in the new season.

I found many of the largest mallard feathers I’ve ever found, and on our bike ride Dave and I both found these special painted rock messages.

They were hidden in the old pine needles now lining the ground at a spot we “randomly” stopped at for a snack.

Back home that evening, I spent two hours giving my new crystal friends a bath outside and while I did this a ladybug appeared out of nowhere sitting atop one of the larger quartz and then kept hanging out and exploring the quartz.

Good fortune and new beginnings indeed!

The crystals remained outside for the shift of seasons overnight – the mother quartz had two nights outside – and that eve before Equinox I had a magickal dream with many luna moths visiting me.

First they came to me individually and would come to rest on my hand and stay a long time. Then pairs started coming to me and did the same, sometimes moving to my face and ears and whispering things to me. Then one individual came and landed on my hand and then split into two. One of this pair came to me and the other to a dear friend of mine – that one whispered a message to her, which she shared with me. And this dream of luna moths coming to land on me over and over kept going.

I began to energetically feel the activation of all of this crystal Equinox energy take place on a physical level. I had about three hours of what felt like internal rearranging going on. I embraced and allowed the process and it then began to integrate into what I sensed was forming as a new version of me. For several days following, I felt completely satiated and needing little actual food, even despite very strenuous physical activity.

The day after Equinox we went on one of our higher elevation hikes at the top of the mountain behind our home.

Beautiful hints of Autumn mushrooms were popping, along with colorful ferns in colors of lower chakra beauty.

At the start of the hike the largest ptarmigan tail feather appeared for me. Ptarmigan, as you may recall, has been actively around me on hikes especially around times of crystal finds.

About five minutes later, as we crossed a small creek, a potent beauty caught my eye.

It was a very rare rubber boa. We’ve only seen three of these ever here – the first was a coppery one on a hike, the second a pearlescent one in our front yard, and now this third – a shimmery greenish one next to the creek.

She was a glimpse of the transformation anchoring and that it will be a unique path to walk in this new form.

We’ve enjoyed a couple of long beach days as bookends to our next adventure to integrate and rest further, so the changes can continue to gently prepare the way.

This is a consistent message for us all, I believe – that of being gentle with ourselves and allowing the balance of rest as it’s own form of action to be part of our experience as well. The body knows how to handle the changes and any healing if given the opportunity to do its miraculous mending and merging.

One of these full beach days came after a huge hike we did for me to have another and last crystal expedition of the year.

For a while now, I felt called to one more crystal adventure to my favorite spot before Winter, and mid-week was the day.

It was a full day’s adventure – 11 miles of the actual trail plus 3 1/2 hours of walking exploration in between – because the map of my heart spoke of treasures awaiting that would be needed for things that guidance is showing me.

And she was right. I also found another ptarmigan feather on the way there – a large wing feather this time – and once again this messenger was connected to crystal finds in the same area.

I thought it was wild that when we got to the highest point of the hike in altitude, that the lake water was creating a very prominent, circular vortex – even more clearly than the photo I tried to capture below.

I’ll share a few photos of the smaller, special beings that came to me.

And like the first group, I gave these ones a bath as well – just five days after the first group.

After I brought them out on the ground, outside, I looked down and saw a dead Eleodes beetle right next to one of the crystals that I hadn’t noticed there until they were all laid out.

I placed it atop the mother quartz of this group, as this felt important.

Beetles are connected to the sacred scarab and in general speak of regeneration and rebirth. But I particularly love this mythical origin story I found:

And on an absolutely universal spectrum, the composition of our galaxy, The Milky Way, is translated in an insect myth of the Cochiti. This myth tells of an Eleodes Beetle that was in charge of depositing stars in the sky. The stars were dropped due to his ego and recklessness, thus forming the Milky Way. The beetle was so distraught at what he had done, that even today, the beetle hides his face in the dirt when approached – will lower its head, raise its abdomen, and emit a disagreeable odor probably for defense. This simple insect myth explains not only insect behavior, but also the start of our own galaxy.

Ladybugs are actually lady beetles – so they both point to the sacred scarab symbolism.

After both groups were ready I placed them on the back deck that sits on the forest so they can receive the energies of Sun and Moon cycles leading up to and over the Libra New Moon Eclipse. Once they were nestled in, a large coyote pack started howling and yipping not far off in the forest. Their song both confirmed and aided the initiation process.

We started this epic day hike at 9:50 am and were back at the car at 7 pm, making our way down the dirt road in the twilight. I didn’t stop moving the entire 9 plus hours. I also carried down the heaviest pack I ever had for the 5 1/2 mile return journey.

Dave was in disbelief. I have to admit, so was I.

I definitely was given superpowers that day, as even the day following, I could barely pick up my pack to move the crystals outside for their bath. I didn’t plan on it, but it’s what was guided for me to do because of a vision I received (more potentially to come on that in the near future). Let’s just say I carried down 46% of my weight. So, yeah, a beach day was perfect after that.

I could feel an activation in my sacrum after that, which always speaks to potent things and awakenings.

As I’ve shared before in greater detail at the link below (but here are snippets):

I know the sacrum to be a sacred bone and portal, as I’ve researched and written about it due to my injuries in the tailbone and sacrum in the past, and residual activations in the form of pulsing deep expansion aches that take place there when energetic things are shifting. In the text link above, you might also, like myself, find this interesting:

“Sacredness of this bone is also related to a belief found in various parts of the globe that the sacrum is the ‘resurrection bone’ from which residual raw material remaining after death a person will be reborn, presumably by attracting the spirit residing within.”

Then this:

“…the sacrum as a focal part of the pelvic girdle represents a metaphor for the cosmic portal linking this world with the Otherworld while emphasizing the generative or (pro)creative aspect of the life cycle, just as the jawbone as a focal part of the skull represents another metaphor for the cosmic portal, but one emphasizing the analytical or destructive aspect of the cosmic cycle.”

There’s nothing I can’t do, if I really want to do it.

That’s the key.

Do I really want to do it?

And perhaps that’s a take-away for all of us. When we really want something, we will make it happen in some form or another.

All this to say that you are a magickal manifestor and cocreator of your life.

Make the most of your days in the ways that fuel your heart’s thriving. This is most key I feel.

We each have things we love to do and there’s no better time than now to do them, as tomorrow isn’t promised – that includes anything you can do today that makes you happy ensures you don’t have regrets, but more importantly, helps you to thrive and live your best life.

Spend time with and let the people who mean the most to you know how much you care. Be more playful, laugh more, dance and sing, create the joy and peace where you see that it isn’t. Infuse your life with warmth and creativity, from the inside out.

The world around us shifts when we change. Not the other way around.

If you don’t see things you like out there in the macro world, or they make you feel anxious and fearful, turn the lens to your inner world and circle and focus your energy toward being a masterful creator of the micro world. Soon, the two will feel seamless, as the strength of your world becomes the wayshower for the larger one, helping you to navigate and respond from the inside out with less trigger and reaction, but more harmony, balance, and love.

Now is everyone’s superpower to create anew!

Today is the Libra New Moon and Solar Eclipse (October 2nd) and I’ll be away for a couple of days tending to some important things, but this felt like a perfect message to leave you with on this potent day of initiating and forward movement.

Review what’s personally of value to you and then take the aligned action.

The energies are supportive for what you want to create, but you have to really want it, believe it, align all your parts with it, and put your conviction in motion.

Then release it to the highest good and the perfect, essence-rich reflection will be yours for enjoying.

For this window of increased energetic fuel to your focuses, I’ve added two new and unique ready-to-ship Magick Rabbits – there are now 6 sweet bunnies (4 left) in this super enchanted collection. Included in the two new are one filled with season’s end thistle to mirror real rabbit’s fur and a Merbunny! I’m in love!

I’ve also added a mini crystal release (just 3 – 2 left and all under $100) of supportive NOW energies and also great for this New Moon Eclipse – thank you to all who have made loving homes to the others. I will see who else is ready in the coming weeks – they know their timing!

Magick Rabbits

Crystals & Crystal Skulls

Again, if you would like to team up together, I’ll be offering the session specials through end of the year. And just a heads up that many of the offerings may not be continuing on into 2025, so if you have something you’ve been hesitant to work on this is a little Uni nudge and hint. Autumn and Winter are opportune times to make personal commitments and focus consistently on intentions – I’m right there with you making my own!

Intuitive Guidance Sessions

There’s a few surprise things in the works, but some will take some time to bring together. I’ll keep you posted as they come into fruition.
